no, it isn't, try the -d switch:
dionysus: {1022} mkdir testdir
dionysus: {1023} touch testdir/file1
dionysus: {1024} touch testdir/file2
dionysus: {1025} touch testdir/file3
dionysus: {1026} ls -laFd testdir
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  users  512 Jun 22 20:14 testdir/
dionysus: {1027} ls -laF testdir
total 4
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  users  512 Jun 22 20:14 ./
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  users  512 Jun 22 20:14 ../
